Hello Marek,

Refactoring the code to return early in case of error conditions is fine. But 
pos and smallblks can never be passed as NULL in these functions.

I believe keeping a variable as "int" provides a natural way of checking for 
overflow conditions. We check can check if number has become negative and take 
actions, which is not possible when number is taken as "unsigned int".

$pos variable is updated in dec/inc_cur_xfer_blks functions which calculates the 
next transfer blocks, and finally when all conditions are met is stored in udev->cur_xfer_blks.

IMHO, All the common code is moved in functions dec/inc_cur_xfer_blks as pointed earlier.
Are you are referring to other common code of usb_stor_read/write functions which is not
part of this patchset. If yes, I would prefer to take it as a next patch set.
